Verified Reviews for Polish

Not a pet breed. - Sue, 1 April 2016

I breed and show Polish rabbits in the UK and unfortunately your information is incorrect. The American Polish should NOT be confused with the UK Polish (which as a separate breed, and known as the Britannia Petite in the USA). British Polish are very much a specialist breed requiring a lot of skill to handle, due to their inbuilt tendency to launch suddenly or panic. They are also not easy to breed, and can be very poor mothers. Abandoned or stillborn litters are common in this breed. While early handling can certainly help, it doesn't always mitigate their highly-strung nature. Some can be very nippy, especially the does (females). However, for those who do have the patience they can be a rewarding and entertaining breed to own, if not an affectionate one.
